This homemade orange sorbet is a refreshing, light dessert bursting with authentic citrus flavor. Made with freshly squeezed orange juice, sugar, and orange zest, this sorbet is dairy-free, vegan, and requires minimal ingredients. Perfect for hot summer days or whenever you want a cool, fruity treat.

Ingredients

Syrup Base

  • 60g sugar
  • 120ml water

Orange Mixture

  • 100ml freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tsp finely chopped orange zest

Instructions

  1. Make the Sugar Syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer without stirring until the sugar fully dissolves, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
  2. Add Orange Juice and Zest: Once the syrup is cooled, stir in the freshly squeezed orange juice and the finely chopped orange zest to combine evenly.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a flat dessert cup or container, making sure the surface is level and not overly filled. Cover the container and place it in the freezer to chill for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to set.
  4. Prepare for Churning: Remove the sorbet mixture from the freezer 5 to 10 minutes before churning to slightly soften it for easier processing.
  5. Churn the Sorbet: Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker with a sorbet function. Select the sorbet program and churn until the sorbet reaches a smooth, frozen consistency. Serve immediately or store in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Using freshly squeezed orange juice ensures the brightest, most natural flavor.
  • Allow the syrup to cool completely before adding the orange juice to prevent altering the flavor and texture.
  • For best texture, do not skip the chilling step before churning.
  • If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can manually freeze the mixture and stir every 30 minutes until frozen but the texture may be less smooth.
  • Sorbet is best served on the day it is churned but can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 days.
